Amsterdam , Netherlands

Amsteldok is a large office building on Amsteldijk and Trompenburgstraat in the Suth of Amsterdam. It was designed by the Rotterdam based architect Huig Aart Maaskant. Until 2019 the building was called Rivierstaete.

 

Rivierstaete was built between 1967 and 1973 and used to be the largest office building in Europe at a cost of 40,000,000 guilders. A metal sculpture by André Volten was placed in the Trompenburgstraat in 1972 during the construction period. The building had eight floors in staggered layers. The outside walls were covered with white tiles, making the building stand out among red brick residential buildings. 'The Monkey Rock' soon became the nickname of the Riverstaete buidling.

 

Several companies were located in the building. The Spyker automobile factory was built here at the beginning of the 20th century, after which the Nestelroy Trompenburg paper factory settled here, which was liquidated in 1968. The consulates of Peru and the Republic of Ivory Coast and the IT departments of the University of Amsterdam and the Hogeschool van Amsterdam were also located in the building. Currently WWP, Ogilvy and UberEats are located in the Amsteldok.

The Pontsteiger is based on a hourglass shape that lands like a half-open building block. Placing the block on 7-meter-high pylons, the view of the water is preserved and the courtyard is freely accessible. There is also a landing place for the ferry, a harbour and a café on the corner.

 

This project shows that you can also enhance the living environment. For example, the wooden ceilings with which the balconies are finished. These wooden ceilings give the building a warm atmosphere, while referring to the locations history of timber docks while dampening the sound from the ports. Or the rolling shape of the entrance pavilions, which helps to limit wind nuisance in the courtyard.

Wood Harbour… Westerdoksdijk, AD Amsterdam, Netherlands. Was home away from home while in Amsterdam.

Located this delightful framed cartoon recently in a junkshop in Adelaide. Evidently it was from his own household and he had purchased it when he stayed in Amsterdam in the seventies. It's in my office now and is testimony of Amsterdam, chaos with trams. Enlarge to see the intricate detail and enjoy.
